Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A bombe commode features an outward-curving chest construction that bulges at the front and sides, popularised in France during the Louis XV Rococo period of the 18th century.

These pieces typically feature fine wood veneers such as kingwood, walnut, or rosewood arranged in geometric parquetry patterns, accented with cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts and escutcheons.

Authentic period commodes exhibit hand-sawn timber framing, hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, period-correct cast metal hardware with natural oxidisation, and subtle irregular wear consistent with age.

Place the commode as a focal piece in an entryway, dining space, or living room, paired with a contemporary mirror above or balanced alongside understated decorative items to highlight its curved silhouette.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish.
